Parcel2go.com offer a US delivery address and forwarding service. The only drawback is you will deffo pay import tax/duty so do some research prior to ordering as to what the goods should be declared as to reduce duty. I am not meaning for you to tell porkies to customs but often if you are creative with your description you can reduce import duty eg; declare a stereo car amplifier as a "stereo car amplifier" and you get whacked with 12% duty on the price and then vat on the shipped total inc duty but if you declare the goods as "sound equipment" you get 3% duty but still the dreaded vat.
